4 bedroom detached house

4 Temperance Street is an elegant double fronted property offering flexible light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors, sensitively designed to combine the amenities of modern living with features including large sash windows.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with bespoke storage and modern cloakroom/shower room and comprises a well-proportioned sitting room and an extensive L-shaped triple aspect kitchen/dining/family room. The kitchen offers a range of contemporary wall and base units, Corian worktops and splashbacks, modern integrated appliances and a door to the side driveway while the remaining space, configurable to the purchaser’s own requirements, has space for a good-sized table and seating area together with large bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, creating an ideal inside-and-out entertaining space, two sky lanterns providing plenty of additional natural light.

On the first floor the property provides a generous principal bedroom with contemporary en suite shower room, two further well-proportioned double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The second floor offers a spacious 15 ft. room, suitable for a variety of uses including as an additional bedroom if required, together with a further modern family bathroom.

Having plenty of kerb appeal and set behind low-level stone walling, the property is approached over a low-maintenance paved front garden and benefits from a block-paved side driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. A pedestrian gate leads from the driveway through to the walled garden to the rear which features a raised area of level lawn and a spacious paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.

The property is in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter in the old conservation area and within very easy reach of the city centre, with its wealth of amenities including shopping and leisure activities, Verulamium Park, The Abbey, St. Michael’s Village and very well-regarded local schools. The mainline station, with its fast through services via St. Pancras International to the City (19 mins), Gatwick and beyond, is also close at hand. Road users enjoy easy access to the M1, M25 and the A1(M) and to the airports at Heathrow, Luton and Stansted.

The area offers a wide range of nearby state primary and secondary schooling including Loreto College (rated Outstanding by Ofsted), as well as a good selection of independent schools including St. Albans, St. Albans High School for Girls and St. Columba’s College.
